More Blue and Golds

I am in need of a new camera, which we should get this week, so the pictures below were sent to me. If you have B&G or Court of Honor pictures you would like posted, sent them to me.

Pack 361 had a great Blue and Gold highlighted by the gradutation of 3 Webelos each of whom received a handcrafted arrow decorated to symbolize his accomplishments in Cub Scouts.

Pack 346 had memorable skits. The Tigers appeared as tottering old men. When asked what was the matter, they responded, "What do you expect, Scouts are 100 years old!"

Pack 219 had a fun B&G at the bowling alley in Lanse. They graduated thier first Arrow of Light recipient since the pack was reorganized two years ago.

Anniversary Party for Pack, Troop, and Crew 370

The whole Scout family, Cubs, Boy Scouts, and Ventures along with family and alumni celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Scouting at the Latter Day Saints Church in Harvey with a Blue and Gold Banquet and Pinewood Derby Race. The older Scouts produced a DVD in which Scout alumni in the church shared their memories of Scouting in their youth. Whitney and Martha Johnson were recognized as the Marquette Ward Scout parents of the century for their commitment to Scouting and for being the parents of 9 Eagle Scout sons.

Webelos WOW

Pack 209 in Ontonagon had a great Blue and Gold Banquet highlighted by the graduation of 5 Webelos Scouts. Each of the Scouts earned all 20 of the Webelos Activity badges. WOW! Each was presented an arrow decorated to symbolize his journey through Cub Scouts and mounted on a board they made himself as a project for craftsman!

Report to the State House

The 10 Boy Scout Councils in Michigan were present for the Report to the State House. The program was coordinated by Senator Jason Allen (pictured with Nick, Harrry, and Conor) and Minority Leader Kevin Elsenheimer, both Eagle Scouts. Representatives Fred Miller, Jeff Mayes, adn James Bolger, also all Eagles, were among those on the committee that interviewed the Scouts in committee hearings.

Scouts were present as a Resolution recognizing the 100th Anniversary of the BSA. The other picture shows Venture Scout Corky Wilson greeting Representatives after the resolution was passed.
